No one’s heard from Vulkan in a long time, but the legend among the Salamanders is that once they find all of his scattered relics, they will find him. I think there’s only three they have yet to find, so Vulkan’s return might be on the horizon?

I wonder if it stems from theater and talking to god/muses/etc scenes? I don't know how many Trek actors apart from Stewart have theater backgrounds, but it does feel like that could be a more general habit actors could have brought from stage to screen over the decades.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

“It won’t benefit me personally” is child brain. No, sorry, that’s unfair to children, children know how to share. This is chud brain. Only a chud would look at someone making feeding a family more affordable, and think “why are we doing this if it’s not for me?” Helping people is good, dipshit.

He is not a scientist. He is not an engineer. He is not an expert in any field related to computing, or intelligence, for that matter. He is a product of Y Combinator. A venture capitalist. All his adult life, he’s taken other people’s work, sold it, and made obscene sums. Sam Altman is a conman.

There have got to be serious consequences for participating in public corruption like this. Soliciting a corrupt service from a government official should be a major big boy felony that puts the entire corporate board in prison for a long time. It cannot be something corps even want to try.

People have been talking up the new newsletter Worse on Purpose, which exposes corporate consolidation and enshittification. It's very appealing, but as I write at Cup of Coffee today, the vibes are way off and I think people should be wary. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

This is the sort of thing that's right the hell up my alley. But it's so up my alley that it made me wonder why such a beast is just emerging right now, from a person no one has ever heard of, as opposed to a few years ago from a better-known anti-corporate crusader or institution. And, more to the point, it made me wonder how Sapp was putting out articles that clearly required a lot of research every week or two weeks when such exposés are normally the sort of thing that can take journalists with resources several weeks to research and write.

So I did some searching to figure out Sapp and his whole deal.

The first thing that raised a red flag was his LinkedIn page, which reveals that, until just last month – three months after he began Worse on Purpose – Sapp worked for Palantir, which is Peter Theil's AI company. Before that Sapp was a co-founder of the AI chatbot company Indigo. Which is, to say the least, a curious path for a guy who wants to blow the lid off of corporate and financial excesses and who cares about everyday consumers like you and me.

So I searched some more and found a post on Y Combinator's news page in which people are asserting that Worse on Purpose is an AI-written project that is cynically leveraging anti-corporate topics with big populist appeal as a means of inuring people – especially otherwise skeptical people like me – to AI "journalism."

That ultimate conclusion skews a bit conspiracy theorist for my tastes, but (a) Sapp does not state his own AI credentials on his site nor are there any disclaimers such as "article partially composed by AI" that you are increasingly seeing (he does have a button connecting his LinkedIn page); (b) there are a lot of unsourced anecdotes and pieces of information in his articles for which you'd normally expect to find at least some sort of sourcing; and (c) most notably, I ran a couple of articles through multiple AI-detection apps and they all light up as highly probable for AI composition.

To be sure, those detectors are, themselves, often unreliable, so I spent a little time early this morning doublechecking facts on one of the articles – the mattress one – to see if Sapp, or his AI bot, were playing super fast and loose with either his facts or characterizations. I obviously did not have the time to be super exhaustive or anything, but most of the broad claims (i.e. who bought which company and when, etc.) check out. Which I think they'd have to because if they didn't he'd be sued into oblivion by the deep-pocketed companies his bots are writing about. That said, the lack of sourcing gives me pause and I am highly, highly skeptical of this whole project.

Maybe Sapp is someone who simply got disillusioned with the world of hypercapitalism, cashed out, and created Worse on Purpose as a soul-cleansing passion project. But if that were the case I doubt he'd start it while still employed by Palantir. And I doubt he'd farm it out to AI to write, which I strongly suspect he did. And even if he did, I'd hope he'd say so. I'll leave the allegations that the site is just some grand psyop aimed at suckering the populace into trusting AI slop to people who are better able to figure such things out, but for now I'll leave it at "this gives me really bad vibes" and suggest that people either steer away from it or treat it with extreme caution.
